Im binge going through your material and this one really struck home. Quarantine us really helping with the dressing up part
This... I always feel like a fraud. "Why can't I just put things away?" "Why does everyone else seem to have it all together?" "What's the secret?"
This reflects my cleaning for company perfectly

I hated when my in-laws would visit me because I felt like I had to pretend that everything in my home was under control and managed and organized and so pretty - when in reality I scrambled to hide my dirty underwear before they came in
I spent my whole life beating myself up over not living in a Better Homes and Gardens set until my diagnosis. I still have shame that I have to work at consciously with self-compassion. It's exhausting honestly, but at least I know what I'm working with (?). Feeling seen by this.

Yeah that too! Whatever we are, guys, girls, bosses, teachers - just by being our ADHD selves we will be deemed „inadequate for this position“
Ironically, I feel the same way being a man with ADHD! I've always been told I'm too sensitive and emotional.
